Hi glad I found this post. I’ve just ordered Mysimba 🤞

Usually I get home and having only had a coffee ,I eat 4 packets of the lowest calorie crisps I can find ..from then on and including the crisps I calorie count all day ,and usually eat around 2000 calories..but I spend the whole day constantly eating,looking for food ,and very often run out of calorie s buy 4/5 .meaning I go to bed very early so i dont eat any more ......which in the last 8 weeks I've lost 10lbs from doing .
So third day on mysimba,..I get home , totally forgot about the crisps .had some food so I can take the tablet ..then lunch ,some bread and salad and bits .
Then a few coffees, totally forgetting about food untill dinner time .made a crumble for after dinner..ate a smallish dinner and didn't fancy the crumble and finished the day on 1300 calories.
Having bearly given food a thought all day ...and that is on one tablet and I'm supposed to get up to 4 tablets .
The drug is also called contrave and there are some excellent videos on line on utube explaining the background and how it works

Following with interest. I took for a couple of weeks a few months ago and they completely switched the 'food noise' off and I lost 7lb, but I stopped as they made me feel a bit out of it and really sweaty! Am thinking about giving it another go having regained 5 of the 7lb 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes sweaty .I might be just getting to that.
Up to day 8 now . nearly packed it in a couple of times ,
Surprised I'm still taking it tbh
Food noise gone ,food doesn't interest me now .
But ..side effects are brutal
Horrendous nightmares ,like 3 in one night where I'm screaming in my sleep and waking up in a state.
Feel sick most of the day ,and spaced out ..

Is it worth it .. honestly I don't know

Hope it's going ok .
There seems to be more mysimba around ,I remember looking to try it a year ago and couldn't find anyone to prescribe it.
I've found taking two tablets with my first meal of the day ,seems to stop the nightmares at night
But I don't know how that will work when I have to go up to 3 tablets

Just a quick update
Incase anyone comes across this thread and wonders how it went ..
I've been on it over 3 weeks and not lost any weight,I felt mainly sick the whole time ,like a morning sickness with pregnancy..which did put me off eating snacks between meals .
The main reason for going on it was to loose weight and not have to do injections.....but as I'm not loosing weight on it and I don't like feeling constantly sick and constipated...,so I have switched to monjroro..fingers crossed I manage the injections
